Popcorn Pulse 252: Novocaine Kiss

This week on Anime Pulse we got unboxing updates, the Goku of isekai, and man-made creatures. Up first Andrew got stuck in traffic coming back from a golf trip, and Joseph has a solid date for the unboxing stream. Then we glaze over no industry news, again, before delving right into the last round of previews. Joseph finds out he a classless vampire who sucks at sucking but believes anything is possible if you just train enough, while Andrew puts on a super hero mask and gets his butt kicked time and time again before going bald.

Anything interesting in the news today? There is, of course, another Tron movie out that no one asked for. Which people seem to be praising the score once again. And for some reason Jared Leto is headlining it. Good thing we didn’t do it for this show. Though there is always the looming threat we will do that. Lucky for us there is alcohol. Speaking of which we watched Novocaine[2025]. Jack Quaid plays a man who has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. He also works as an assistance manager in a bank. He lives a very boring life until runs into Amber Midthunder who awakens the trouser beast. Also she makes … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 252: Novocaine Kiss"

Oh shit, look at the time. It’s manga time. Again. Like Groundhog day, we are back in the same place at the same time. Or at least close enough to the same time that it doesn’t matter. We’re not Batman who’s arrival thirty seconds late means the warehouse explodes or anything. We’re much more important which is why we can start whenever we feel. Tim has Otherside Picnic. It’s sort of inspired by Roadside Picnic but has yuri schoolgirls because this is a manga we’re talking about. Sorawo wanders into a a dimension she’s been exploring and nearly dies. Lucky for her another schoolgirl, Toriko, wanders over with a gun … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 545: Isekai Panic"

Joseph gets isekai'd as an assassin who collects materials to use at a campfire cookout, and Andrew reincarnates as a villainess who loves monster meat and punching women.

Everybody needs socks. Not just the day to day boring old socks, mind you. You need some nice warm, cushy socks that will help keep your feet safe in the colder months. We’re not shilling any particular brand or anything but after watching today’s movie, Jeremiah Johnson(1972), we’re reminded of the need for good winter gear. Jeremiah Johnson is based very loosely based on both a real mountain man and a period fiction novel. The titular Jeremiah is played by Robert Redford. He comes from nowhere and has decided he will become a mountain man. So it’s his struggle to adapt to the wilderness. This means collecting a couple of … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 251: Hot Johnson"

We almost need a new term after this episode. Something to describe getting bad manga out of a grab bag. It’s much like getting some sort of STI though in this case it’s going to the whorehouse and not bringing along a condom on purpose. Stupid Tankabon Inside? We’ll workshop some stuff and completely forget. Until then, on with the manga review. Tim has My Isekai Life. Yuji is a young office drone who whines about working all the time.
